Chapter 1589: A Moment of Shame III

Feng Lianyi’s face changed dramatically. She clenched her fists tightly, and her breathing grew heavier.

She had not invited anyone from the palace. Why would they come?

There was a sudden stir in the banquet hall.

‘This is an apology banquet held by Feng Lianyi... Why is the emperor informed about it?’

‘What does this mean?’

‘Does it mean that... General is really grooming Feng Lianyi as his heir?’

Who knew that in Wu Shang City, though General had accepted Feng Lianqing as his disciple, General was more interested in girls.

Feng Lianyi’s strength... Was honestly not as good as Feng Lianqing’s, yet it was much better than ordinary people.

Moreover, General had always been strict with her, even stricter than with Feng Lianqing! Even if she had not taken Feng Lianyi as his disciple, she was still an important member of General Manor!

“Why has the emperor come?”

The people in the crowd began to whisper. “I didn’t see the emperor at Feng Lianqing’s banquets back then.”

“Could it be that... the general really wants to make Feng Lianyi the heir? What about Master Lianqing? He’s General Tian Ya’s disciple.”

“I don’t know. Besides, Maiden Lianyi is like Tian Ya’s adopted granddaughter. It’s just that General’s ancestral tablets aren’t here and, therefore, couldn’t get her into the family. Thus, he had never declared it. Think about it, Maiden Lianyi is not a servant or a guard in General Manor, and everyone else calls her Maiden Lianyi, what is it if it’s not a granddaughter’s identity?”

“Indeed... Between the disciple and granddaughter... Of course, the granddaughter is more important...”

Everyone looked at each other, let out a sigh.

Someone winked at the little girl from before, indicating that she should keep a distance from Feng Ruqing.

The little girl was a bit hesitant, but in the end, she did not move away.

General Tian Ya was not rude and protective! He had always been a good and honest man!

They were no longer allowed to think about it as Qi Fang had already brought the empress and the others in.

Apart from Feng Ruqing and Nan Xian, who was still calmly enjoying the feast, everyone else had kneeled on the ground.

“Respect to Your Majesty, Empress... The little prince and the fourth princess.”

The voice echoed throughout the hall.

The people who followed behind Qi Fang were the eunuchs and guards of the palace and the old housekeeper of General Manor.

He could not help but wipe the cold sweat on his forehead as he panicked.

Today, Feng Lianyi had suddenly come and told him that she wanted to hold a banquet. He thought it was only a small meeting for the young girls, so he did not care much about it. However, he did not expect that it would draw the emperor and the empress here.

“Please come...” Qi Fang made an inviting gesture and looked back at the empress. “Empress, you and I...”

The empress walked away from Qi Fang, not even sparing him a glance.

All eyes were on her as she smiled and walked toward Feng Ruqing. “Maiden Feng, I heard that Feng Lianyi is holding a banquet to apologize to you today. I was worried that Feng Lianyi is using her power to force you to accept her apology, so I come to check on you.”

There was silence in the banquet hall.

Some people had stood up when they heard the empress’s words. They began to shiver from the shock of all that was happening.

‘The empress... She came to back Feng Ruqing up?’

‘Didn’t they make a lot of mess at the city gates that day? Even if that was all Feng Lianyi’s fault... they had still embarrassed the empress... ‘

‘Why is the emperor so kind to her now...’
